Demon Slayer Hinokami Chronicles 2 Runs Smoothly on Switch 2

Fans of Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 have a major reason to celebrate. The new version of the game for the Nintendo Switch 2 fixes the biggest issue from the original release by finally hitting a smooth 60 frames per second. While the first game on the previous console was locked at 30 frames, this upgrade makes the fast paced combat feel much more responsive and fluid.

Testing the game with fan favorites like Muichiro Tokito and Entertainment District Tanjiro shows just how much the extra power changes the experience. The flashy ultimate animations and quick sword strikes look better than ever without the slowdowns that plagued the previous version. It feels like the arena fighter it was always meant to be.

Despite the big win in performance, there is still one area that needs work. Players are finding that online matchmaking can be a bit of a struggle, which might be a letdown for those looking to climb the ranks against others. Even with that hurdle, the visual and performance jump makes this the best way to play the game on a handheld device.
